Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of a Medical Student charts 20-year-old Ben Adler's tragic-comic journey from home to med-school and the world beyond.

In anatomy, Ben dissects his cadaver, 'Clive', with lab-mates. As the first blush of med-school fades, Ben learns of his father's life-threatening illness. Cash-poor, Ben enlists in the Navy to earn room and board, joins Lenny's Underground Railroad for draft-dodgers, jeopardizing studies and provoking his ill father's scorn.

In Confessions of a Community College Administrator Reed describes the current landscape of community college leadership and addresses some of the fundamental questions that face community colleges. Who does a community college actually serve? How do administrators really make budget decisions? Where do the roots of the "permanent crisis" in higher education lie? How are full-time and adjunct faculty best balanced? Throughout the book, Reed offers guidance and encouragement for the next generation of community college leaders. He examines a set of proposed solutions from outside academia, then turns to other solutions emerging from inside the community college world that also show potential for success. Confessions of a Community College Administrator is filled with realistic, and ultimately hopeful, advice on how to step back from the day-to-day administrative struggles and gain some perspective on the larger picture. Reed offers administrators useful and productive directions for constructive change.

Download or read book Confessions of an English Doctor Classic Reprint written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confessions of an English Doctor Allow me to give a few thumb-nail sketches of myself and a few friends. I went to Edinburgh to study medicine, after being coached specially for the preliminary examination. I did not feel in the least inclined to become a model student: I was to some extent interested in the subjects which I had to study, but I occupied myself with so many things in general that I could never approach anywhere near the exemplary. Indeed, I always looked upon an exemplary student as a most uninteresting narrow-minded, and one-sided specimen of humanity. I attended nearly all lectures, it is true, partly because I was interested, but also because I felt I ought to do so; but I was not inclined to spend much time over medical books. I liked to be left alone to study anything I chose; and what I liked best of all were "the affairs of men." In my early student days I found so many opportunities for learning everything, including just a little medicine and surgery, that life in Edinburgh was to me most entrancing. Almost every pursuit appeared to be within my reach in this wonderful city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
